I think I'll purchase the tome... now, just for these detailed creatures. I'm glad to see that nearly all the various 'loths have now received some type of 3e treatment.
The omnimental is interesting as well. I wonder whether they're the rumored replacement for the animentals...?
Hmmm...

Actually, glancing over the listing Dargoth provided, a second time... I've also noticed the small amount of 2e creatures that have been picked up from the older 2e RL MCs...
This is rather a good thing, since White Wolf missed publishing these creatures in their own monster book for the RL setting.

I just want something more than what this tome offers for my money these days. But, it will sell. I definitely know that as does WOTC.
Thank you for posting the list though Dargoth. |

Except for the Yugoloth, I don't think I remember reading the description of a single monster on that list... When you get it Sage, can you scan the Yugoloth and send it to me? |

What exactly are you looking for in a monster tome, Sirius?
I'm curious...

I can certainly summarise the yugoloth information for you PDK, but I can't scan it. That is illegal, and not something I would likely do anyway... regardless.

Armadillo monks... I dunno, the only armadillos I ever see are dead on the side of the road. So armadillo monks isn't something that sounds intriguing. |

Oh indeed, Sage. Tomes such as this have been a great facination of mine for many years, I have a fair few Monster Manuals from numerous worlds within my personal collection. This tome in particular has a number of creatures and such which I am quite excited about...
Ancient Night Twist, Battlebriar, (i'm quite fond of semi-sentient plants and such), Ambush Drake, Forestkith, Arrow Demon, Harpoon Spider, Glisterfire, Needletooth Swarm and the various Yugoloth's, to name but a few, have grabbed my interest.
What in particular art thou looking forward to Sage, from this latest tome? (other than the aforementioned Yugoloths, which I could have guessed at from thee ) |

The several golems sound intriguing, since I like including golemic elements in my campaigns. Other creature types of interest include the giants, and the undead.
Aside from those particulars, the monsters specifically set for the Eberron setting are of interest to me, at least until we actually see that there *will* be an Eberron monster book placed on the WotC production schedule.

Ah. I apologise. It's sometimes hard for me to distinguish humor online, especially in forums such as those here at Candlekeep.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me understand what a 'Nycaloth' is. I saw it on the list, and rechecked the 'Fall of Myth Drannor' source book thingy.
I read it and was interested in the three Nycaloth's that bring about the fall and would love to know more about them, specifically what they look like. If anyone can help...
(or I 'could' wait and get the manual myself but that's doubtful) |

Here you go blood...
As quoted from the Planescape Monstrous Compendium I pg. 124 -
quote: Observers and reporters, nycaloths reconnoiter the Lower Planes and observe the Blood War.
Nycaloths look like fiends in their characteristic gargoyle-like appearance. They are hulking, broad humanoids with powerful and wings; think, light green skin with a leathery texture; and sharp, thick claws that make excellent weapons.
Nycaloths communicate via telepathy.
Nycaloths usually operate in a calculating and cautious manner, so they can better maximise their own personal safety and protect their precious power.
Unfortunately, the nycaloths cannot capitalise on their position as information gatherers, because the things they do learn from their patrols often go to fiends on a rung higher up in the 'loth heirarchy -- like the ultroloths (the enigmatic rulers of the yugoloth race) for example. This makes the nycaloths bitter and jealous of the power and position of greater 'loths, which often results in the nycaloths hatching schemes in secret in an attempt to advance their poor positions.
Nycaloths may have once been scavengers, but are now reserved carnivores who take pride in their meals.

Just want to say that I like the Grimweirds. For some reason the idea of a spellstitched Grimweird as the 'boss monster' of a dungeon appeals to me, especally if said dungeon was his home in life, and he retreated into it to keep all his 'enemies' away from his hoarded treasure... "I know. I'll make a deal with the Nine Hells. They're lawful, so they can't break their word!... Now, devil, I command three things: immunity to poison, old age, and all other human frailities; servants always at my beck and call; and great magical power!" Buddy the Baatezu: "Okay, you're a grimweird. Have fun counting your coins, dumb*ss."
The Alchemical Golem also sounds like fun, as do several of the other magically-created monsters. Might make for fun stuff in a story idea I've long kicked around -- a hakeshear (one of those allergic to salt, magic eating cloud-things) gets into a Thayan Enclave, and one of the Red Wizards hires the heroes to go in and get rid of it. Unfortunately, she (Khalia, maybe?) has to go along... I say 'unfortunately' because his rival in the enclave sees this as a perfect chance for an assassination, and as such makes certain that all the summoned and guardian monsters are in full fury and ready to kill.
Really, I don't think enough has been done with the Thayan Enclaves as adventure settings. |
